CNC Machining Service

Machined prototypes and production parts in as fast as 1 day

Looking for a reliable, quick-turn supplier of machined plastic and metal components? With hundreds of mills and lathes, our unmatched in-house capacity ensures your parts are shipped on-time, every single time. At Protolabs, our AS9100-certified CNC machining facilities are designed for both rapid prototyping and low-volume production of end-use components.

Iterate part designs quickly and accelerate product development with quick-turn parts.

Plastic and Metal Materials

We stock more than 30 engineering-grade plastic and metal materials that are suitable for various part applications and industries. Materials range from plastics like ABS, polycarbonate, nylon, and PEEK to aluminum, stainless steel, magnesium, and copper.

Custom machined parts all begin with a simple plastic or metal block. But once that block is introduced to one of our automated mills, that all changes fast. Step inside a high-speed CNC machine to see what’s possible with digital manufacturing.

To get a good idea of how ProtoQuote works, check out a sample quote for machining. You can make adjustments to things like materials and turnaround time, and even manipulate a 3D CAD model with manufacturability analysis.
